I love to exercise, & music motivates me. I have compiled a list of some songs that can take you through at least an hour of cardio. I always look around for some good mixes, and now I thought I would create my own.

I warm up just to get my body moving. It also helps your overall fitness because muscles don't get cramped mid-workout. My warm-up songs usually are a little slower, but still make me want to start sweating!

Warm-up Songs:

1. "Love Generation": Bob Sinclair
2. "Bleeding Love": Leona Lewis
3. "Pictures": Sneaky Sound System
4. "Heartbeats": The Knife

Now that you are moving, it is time to up the intensity! Depending on your fitness regimen this could mean extremely hard- moderately intense. It is crucial to me to have really up-beat fast tempo songs during the part of my workout. It keeps me excited and my mood up (so I don't feel like dying!).

Workout Songs:

1. "I like the way you move": Bodyrockers
2. "Now that you're gone": Basshunter
3. "Every single day" Benassi Bros.
4. "Worked up so sexual" The Faint
5. "We're in Heaven(Techno Remix)": DJ Sammy
6. "Jane Fonda": Mickey Avalon
7. "I don't feel like Dancing": Scissor Sisters
8. "What you know": T.I.
9. "Run it (ft. Juelz Santana): Chris Brown
10. "Move, Shake, & Drop(Mix"): DJ Laz
11. "Galvanize": The Chemical Brothers.
12. "Rhythm is a dancer": Snap!

Cooling down is equally as important as warming up. So make your you let you heartbeat slow down but keep your body moving!
